We have high expectations of our employees, including:

• Punctuality, flexibility and focus. Always on time and ready to work. Arrive early, rested, healthy, appropriately dressed and groomed, with appropriate outerwear, tools and supplies. This is the event industry/show biz. Everything must happen on time, every time. The audience/guests will be there at doors, whether we are ready or not.
• Integrity and Honesty. The willingness to do things the right way (regardless of how many easy ways there may be), and be accountable for the results.
• Attention to detail. A focus on accomplishing the work in a safe, efficient manner, adhering to the highest standards of workmanship. There is no margin for error.
